A decades-old controversy involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may be heading toward a new chapter. Parties involved in the investigation of an alleged drug-related case connected to Tinubu during his time in the United States have been ordered by the court to release their findings by Friday, May 2. This move comes after years of speculation, political debates, and repeated calls for transparency.
The case, which traces back to the 1990s, has lingered in public memory due to court documents that suggested financial forfeitures related to narcotics investigations. Although Tinubu has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, critics and civic groups have continued to push for answers. The court’s directive could finally provide clarity—or ignite new controversies depending on what the documents reveal.
For many Nigerians, especially younger voters, the issue is about more than legal technicalities. It’s about trust. It’s about whether those in power are truly accountable. The reports expected on May 2 may not just settle an old story—they could influence how citizens view leadership in today’s Nigeria
